~The next day, at school~

After what Avery said to Dimitri, calling him a communist, I decided it was time to get her back - hard. I've kept Avery's little secret about her cheatings from Adrian, and I have felt terrible about it, so I decided to give Adrian a little wake up call about his so-called girlfriend. I had told Dimitri I needed to talk to Adrian, just for a moment. Dimitri and Adrian get a long pretty well, so he didn't mind.

"Ivashkov!" I called, Adrian turned around at the sound of his voice. When he saw me, he smiled.

"What's up, little Hathaway?" he said. "How's it going with you and Belikov?"

I giggled. "We're going strong." I reminded myself why I was here, and stopped giggling. "I need to tell you something about Avery."

Adrian's good mood turned to shock. "What about her?"

"She's been cheating on you," I said. "Ever since you guys have started dating. She's been sleeping around with a lot of guys here."

"Rose -" Adrian started.

I interrupted him. "I'm not lying, Adrian. She told me how she slept around with these guys. One of them got her pregnant." Adrian's eyes flashed with anger.

"Pregnant?" His voice was flat, but I could tell he was furious. I don't blame him.

"Yes, pregnant. But she had an abortion. Please, Adrian, I'm not making this up." I didn't want Adrian thinking I was lying. I might not know him that well, but he's a good guy. I've seen him with Avery, he's been nothing but faithful and nice towards her.

Adrian didn't say anything for a moment. His eyes lost their usual flame, his joking smirk was gone. He was angry, I could tell.

"Who were these guys?" Adrian asked.

Should I tell him Avery's lovers are our friends? I thought.

"I-I don't know," I lied. It hurt me to tell Adrian that Avery wasn't being pure with him, but it hurt me even more to lie about who she was sleeping with. "She wouldn't say." I hoped Adrian didn't notice my lie, I prayed he wouldn't notice my lie.

"Thanks for telling me, Rose." I looked up at Adrian. The only time he ever called me Rose was when he's in a bad mood, and from the way he looked, he was beyond a bad mood.

"No problem," I said.

~Later~

It was lunchtime, and Dimitri and I were sitting in our usual spot, cuddling, talking.

"Why did you need to talk to Adrian?" Dimitri asked.

Dimitri's arm was around my shoulders, keeping me close to his side. I snuggled into his side, loving how warm he is.

"I had to tell him something," I said, stuffing a chip in my mouth. I felt Dimitri bury his face in my hair. I could feel his warm breath on my neck. I sighed.

"I love your hair," Dimitri whispered. "Promise you'll never cut it."

"Promise," I said. Dimitri moved his head to my neck, placing a gently kiss there. "I love you."

"I love you, too," Dimitri said. He removed his head from my neck and kissed me tenderly on the lips. Shockwaves pulsing through me. When the kiss ended, I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Can I come over to your place?" I asked. I found myself playing with Dimitri's large hand, entertaining myself with his long fingers.

"Of course," Dimitri said. When the bell rang, telling everyone lunch was over, I gave Dimitri one last kiss - a very long one - and went to class.

~Even later~

School just ended, and I was going to put some stuff away in my locker. It wasn't until I heard someone shout my name - and I mean shouted - that I turned to see Avery storming down the hall, a murderous look on her face.

I was in deep shit.

QUICKY A/N: I THINK WE'VE ALL SEEN HIGH SCHOOL CATFIGHTS. HOW DO YOU GUYS THINK ROSE SHOULD HANDLE AVERY? SHOULD THERE BE A CATFIGHT? SUGGESTIONS, PLS!

=)

YOURS TRULY,
